Any thoughts on how to make my white Fusion look more sporty? I tried upgrading the rims to black but the little 17" wheels look dinky now. Should I go with 19" in the front, 20" in the back? Any other thoughts? Spoiler, body kit? Where? -
My FORD Dealer can get Michelin Energy Savers set of four for $730 out the door and then add in $70 MasterCard rebate from Michelin takes it down to $660 which is a real good deal, but it is over Sept. 20 I have 78k mi. on my Michelin's, but I think I can go to 85k mi. before I need to change. I'm going to buy them now, but wait to change them till I need too. Normally it is a real good idea to have the alignment done to, but I'm getting such good wear I don't think the Dealer can do better. I picked up the tires today and it came to $730.17 Total. I applied for a rebate at FordOwner.com and was notetied that I would get my $70 rebate in 6-8 weeks. Paul

First post here from a new owner. I bought a 13 Energy last may with 13k miles on the clock but the front stock tires have worn down to the point that they need replacement. I live in a fairly wet climate and was wondering if anyone has made the switch from the OEM tires to the Michelin Premier A/S and what their findings are. From what I read so far is that the handling improves significantly but I have been unable to find conclusive reports on the noise level or mileage increase on these tires. Anyone willing to share experiences ?

Love this car, love it, but hate the way the rear Lith/Ion batts load up the rear suspension. I'm thinking they left the stock parts of the Hybrid there, saving money. Seems squishy soft, bottoms out in road dips. A bit swervvy in hard fast cornering (on off ramp frwy) Thinking a replacement set of new gas KYBs, or Konis in the rear might do the trick? Or replace w/stiffer springs/struts? Second question: Best tires for the 18", five spoke rims ? : 1. Best (lowest) rolling resistance, 2. lightest weight (sprung) and 3. best value, performance, noise, grip, handling. I'm thinking a +2 wider, lower ratio tire may add cornering ability and more stiffness, def. lower rolling resistance, even with wider tread/track - better mpg! Michs, Goodyear, Kumho, Sumitomo ? Do 245/45/18s fit without mods, clearance, or does circumference change affect the mechs of the Energi? Does anyone have experience with this upgrade? Thanks, Q
